About the book

In ‘Dadarayan’ the author examines, with warmth and exactness, the little and large things of daily life. Sharp observation and command over language let him catch how a person is, looks, behaves and speaks — and also the psychology of a crowd. Wordplay, imaginative leaps and rich references make it a joy to read, with a few reflective pieces as well. The line drawings in the book are by the author.

“कल्पनाचमत्कृती, शब्दखेळ, मार्मिक निरीक्षणं, संदर्भाची समृद्धी यामुळे ‘दादरायण’ वाचणं आनंदाचं ठरतं.”
मंगला गोडबोले — Mangala Godbole, eminent Marathi author
